Punk has been astoundingly hateful and full of venom of late and it's wonderful to behold. He's such a natural heel. (Even though he still gets cheered every time his music hits.)

Quote:

In the last 2 days, I've been pretty excited by the possibilities all over the show (then again, how many times have you heard that one before?). I'm glad they're giving Ambrose/Rollins/Other Dude meaningful time. I feel like they've got at least 2 stars in waiting there (not sure what to think about Reigns yet).

Agreed! WWE is actually pretty exciting with all of the promising/accomplished talent and intelligent booking, holy shit that they've been introducing since I started watching again a month ago or so. I mean, their faces are still almost universally self-involved assholes (Kane/Bryan notwithstanding, obviously), and Cena segments are as painful as ever. AJ stuff alternates between cringe-inducing and misogyny and stigmatizing mental illness; hopefully the Dolph*/Big E affiliation and the seeming shift in direction towards competence allows them to write her like a quasi-human being in the future. But on the whole? Lots of potential, it seems like.

And yeah, I thought that when Summer of Punk Jr. happened and drew me back in too, only to get a story revolving around John Cena and Kevin Nash's cell phone. (kinda worth it for lol kevin nash, i thought he was dead lol)

Also, holy shit, Dolph is turning into a great talker/actor. His facial expressions and mannerisms have been top notch the past few days. "Earmuffs, babe" and the little nod he gave was the cutest thing.

"The storyline will be that starting this Monday, I'm gonna go back, and it's going to be a big return. That will lead to, hopefully, what will be the biggest WrestleMania of all-time at Giants Stadium. I will headline that show with someone who I can't say right now. We've got an amazing four months lined up and planned out that will culminate in the biggest WrestleMania of all-time. It's going to be a hell of a thing."

It's hard to watch the PG Raw and to think it's entertaining. Ridiculous 4th grader like story lines. Rock needs to stop calling people popcorn farts, cookie puss', fruity pebbles (though that one was kinda funny), the rock concerts, and needs to start wearing his $800 shirts, sunglasses and needs to talk in 3rd person more.

Rock and Punk will be much more entertaining than Cena was. Better on the mic, better in the ring. Unfortunately it's only lasting a few weeks, before Rock wins the title and re-starts his feud with Cena.

Be prepared to have Cena shoved down your throats like never before. It's no coincidence that the first Raw of 2013 started with him, and it's no coincidence that it featured most of the worst aspects of his character, from his "humor" to the hulk hogan style superman win over Ziggler. He's most likely going to get his win back at mania, and he's most likely going to be the complete focus of everything in the company this year in an even worse way than before. Not that it wasn't already bad, when Punk had the title for a year but all the main events featured Cena, but it looks like we're going back to SuperCena and catering to 5 year olds.

Well hopefully Linda losing yet another election will make her give up and let Vince go back, if he even wants to. Punk Eye the Crack Man was the first line that came from the Rock that made me chuckle since he came back last year.

I just read that WWE signed El Generico. It will be interesting to see if they keep him under the mask. At first glance, he just looks like a pasty, skinny guy in a mask but he can flat out go. He had some epic feuds in the indies with guys like Chris Hero and Kevin Steen.
